The Other (Wo)men

NOTES ON A SCANDAL is easily one of my favourite films of the last two years. It was a ferocious and quickly-paced drama, and until today, I didnt bother to check out who directed it, which is uncharacteristic of me. But now I know, because it looks like Richard Eyre (thats his name) is planning his next film, called THE OTHER MAN. And after working with the likes of Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, and Bill Nighy, hes procured himself another top-line cast. Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, and Antonio Banderas, have all signed to star in this movie about a widower who starts a correspondence with the man who was having an affair with his late wife.

Eyre has adapted his script from a short story written by Bernard Schlink from the anthology FLIGHTS OF LOVE. Im not sure what the two mens correspondence will lead tosome are saying revenge, others are saying comfort. Looks like well just have to see when this dramatic powerhouse eventually hits theatres.
